Frequently Asked Questions about Microsoft Excel + Todoist integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Microsoft Excel and Todoist

How do I integrate Microsoft Excel with Todoist?

We provide an integration service that connects Microsoft Excel to Todoist through our platform. By setting up this integration, specific triggers in Excel, such as adding a new row or updating an existing one, can create or update tasks automatically in Todoist.

Can I automatically create a Todoist task when a new row is added in Excel?

Yes, with our integration, you can set up a trigger for when a new row is added in Excel. This trigger will automatically create a task in Todoist based on the data from that row.

Is it possible to update a task in Todoist if an Excel cell changes?

Absolutely. You can set up an action where changes to cells in specified columns will update corresponding tasks in Todoist. This way, any important data changes are reflected promptly in your task list.

How do we handle authentication between Excel and Todoist during integration?

To integrate Microsoft Excel and Todoist using our service, you'll need to authenticate both applications on our platform. This ensures secure data transfer between your spreadsheets and task manager.

Can I map multiple columns from Excel to fields in Todoist?

Yes, during the setup of your integration, you can map multiple columns from your Excel worksheet to different fields within a Todoist task. This gives you flexibility over how data is transferred and how tasks are structured.

Will completed tasks in Todoist be marked off back in my Excel sheet?

Currently, our integration setup focuses primarily on inputting and updating tasks within Todoist based on actions performed inside Microsoft Excel. However, marking tasks as completed in Todoist does not retroactively mark them off back within the connected Excel sheet.

Are there limits to how many rows can trigger actions from Excel to Todoist?

While setting up integrations between Microsoft Excel and Todoist via our platform typically handles numerous rows efficiently, the performance may vary based on spreadsheet size and complexity as well as your specific plan terms.

Practical ways you can use Microsoft Excel and Todoist

Track new tasks in Todoist using Excel

Stay on top of your task list without juggling tools. When a new task is added to a specific Todoist project, Zapier automatically logs it in an Excel spreadsheet stored on OneDrive for Business. This helps business owners keep comprehensive records of their tasks and track project progress efficiently.

Log completed tasks in Excel for reporting

Simplify task tracking across IT projects. When a task is marked as completed in Todoist, Zapier logs the task details in an Excel sheet. This automation makes it easier for IT teams to generate progress reports and track completed work, saving time on manual reporting efforts.

IT
Add Todoist tasks for newly updated Excel rows

Eliminate manual steps for tracking data and tasks. When a row in a specific Excel worksheet is updated, Zapier automatically creates a new task in a specified Todoist project. This ensures project managers can link critical data updates to actionable tasks and keep everything on schedule.
